"I am a Producer/Director, and have worked with Marnie for over 5 years on various projects. Marnie is an exceptional make-up and hair artist, she has a meticulous attention to detail,excellent communication skills and is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has the ability to put the talent as ease, and gets along very well with the crew She is extremely reliable, punctual and proactive in approaching the director prior to the shoot, in order to ensure all make-up and hair requirements are met on the day. Her knowledge base and experience is extensive and she has a clear understanding of the diverse make-up requirements for a variety of filming conditions and styles. Marnie is very creative and has the ability to research and develop new techniques where required She often goes above and beyond her role to offer extra assistance onset, without being asked, and always stays to help clean up at the end of the day which I believe speaks highly of her character as a person.
I would highly recommend Marnie Rappell."-Sarah ScullyFreelance Producer & Director
"It is very important to our business that our makeup artists are friendly and welcoming to all of our clients. Our clients are very diverse and come from a range of different lifestyles and backgrounds, so it is vital that our artists are inclusive and make our clients feel welcome and good about them selves. Marnie is amazing, not only does she welcome our clients with open arms, but she does a superb job with their hair and makeup, providing a pampering experience for all of our wonderful clients.
It is also very important the makeup is applied professionally and smoothly to avoid unnecessary retouching of final images. We have never had any issues with the quality of Marnie’s work, and, she will always ask a question if she has a concern, so that we don’t have any issues." Karen Agar - from Dean Agar Photography
